If closing costs are to be borrowed, the loan repayment is included in TDS, based upon a 12-month amortization schedule, for TDS calculation purposes. If the down payment requirement is being met by way of financial gift (from an immediate relative of the borrower and confirmed as such in a letter form from the donor), the funds must be in the borrower s possession no later than 15 days prior to closing date. Down payment must be from client s own resources or an outright gift not borrowed. The program is open to all purchasers regardless of whether they have previously owned a home or not.
2 PREQUALIFICATION / PREAPPROVAL Having the right documents in place will speed up the prequalification / preapproval process Here s a list of what we need to start the approval process: Employer letter(s) on company letterhead outlining your name and confirming your position, gross annual income, and number of years employed with the company.

Write down a list of questions you would like to have answered.
3 MORTGAGE OPTIONS There are a number of mortgage options for you to choose from Conventional Regulations under The Bank Act prohibit lenders from lending in excess of 80% of the purchase price or the appraised value of a property without obtaining High Ratio Insurance. A loan for up to 80% of the purchase price or appraised value of a property is called a conventional mortgage. High Ratio A loan greater than 80% but less than 95% of the purchase price or appraised value of the property, whichever is less, is called a high ratio mortgage. CMHC and Genworth High ratio mortgages must be insured through CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) or Genworth. These insurers guarantee the risk of lending to homebuyers who need a high ratio mortgage. The borrower on behalf of the lender pays an insurance premium to CMHC or Genworth to protect the lender in the event that the mortgage is not paid. This is not life, disability or job loss insurance. The insurance premium is calculated as a percentage of the mortgage amount, depending on the loan to value and may be added to the mortgage amount or paid separately. The premiums, which can change without notice, are as follows: Loan to Value Premium 0-65% 0.50% 65-75% 0.65% 75-80% 1.00% 80-85% 1.75% 85-90% 2.00% 90-95% 2.75% Mortgage Money Sources: There are many financial institutions in the mortgage industry in Canada, including, Chartered Banks, Loan Corporations, Trust Companies, Credit Unions, Finance Companies, Pension Funds, Life Insurance Companies, Private Individuals.
4 RRSP HOME BUYER PROGRAM You can withdraw RRSP money tax free as part of your down payment Highlights: Each purchaser may borrow up to $20,000 from their RRSP to use as a down payment. Available to first time homebuyers only those who have not owned in the last five years or never owned. Repayment of the funds to your RRSP must be made within a 15-year period, 15 annual installments is the usual practice. If the amount is not repaid in a year, that year s repayment amount will be added to your income and taxed Example: $15,000 is borrowed for a down payment on December 31, The first $1,000 becomes due but is not paid. The borrower must declare the $1,000 as income in The home must be located in Canada and is to be used as your principal residence. This program may be used with the CMHC / Genworth 5% First Time Buyers program. The program has been extended indefinitely.
5 DOWN PAYMENT One thing, which may delay the closing your home, it is satisfactory verification of your down payment. CMHC, Genworth and Financial Institutions will as you, on or before issuing a lending commitment to provide Confirmation of Down Payment from Non-borrowed funds in one or more of the following forms. Down Payment from the Sale of an Existing Property You will be required to provide copies of the unconditional Purchase and Sale Agreement on your existing property and the statement of Mortgage Balance on any mortgages presently held against the property. The difference between the sale price and the mortgages owing will verify the funds available for your down payment. Gifted Down Payment All or part of the minimum down payment may be provided by way of a financial gift, as long all of the following conditions are met: a) The donor is an immediate relative of the borrower, b) The Approved Lender has verified that the money is a genuine gift and c) The Approved Lender has verified that the funds are in the borrower s possession prior to the time of the application to CMHC or Genworth for mortgage loan insurance. The Approved Lender will verify the authenticity of the gift by obtaining a written confirmation signed by the donor and the borrower, which must state the following: a) The money is a genuine gift from the donor and does not ever have to be repaid b) Any third party having any interest, either direct or indirect in the sale of the subject property, is providing none of the financial gift. The Approved Lender is not required to forward this confirmation to CMHC or Genworth but is expected to retain the information. Down Payment from Your Own Resources You must supply verification satisfactory to CMHC or Genworth and the lender, of accumulated savings from non-borrowed funds. This may be a copy of your bank statement or your bankbook confirming a balance equivalent to your down payment, including the amount of deposit confirming the savings of said amount for a period of not less than 3 months. Should a substantial deposit have been recently made, the source of such funds, i.e. Bonds, Stocks, GIC s or RSP receipts will also be required. To avoid any delay in funding your transaction, we recommend that you provide a form of the above noted confirmation at least 14 days prior to your closing date.
6 CLOSING THE DEAL There are costs involved in every real estate transaction and to avoid any surprises on closing, here is a list of what to expect in the way of costs. The Deposit Part of your down payment a deposit is due upon acceptance of your offer. Home Inspection Prepared by a qualified inspector to assess the property for defects and poor maintenance. Appraisal Prepared by an appraiser chosen by the lender, by CMHC or Genworth if the mortgage is insured. Legal Fee/Disbursements Your lawyer, solicitor or notary will quote his or her approximate fee for closing the purchase of your home, registering the mortgage(s) and miscellaneous disbursements, which could include registration fees, courier costs, telephone and photocopying, etc. Make sure to always ask for a detailed estimate. Land Transfer Tax / Property Transfer Tax See the chart enclosed in this package to calculate the Land Transfer / Property Transfer Tax, which is due on closing and reflected in the Statement of Adjustments which your lawyer prepares prior to closing day. Interest Adjustment Monthly mortgage payments are due on the first of the month. Unless the closing date is the first of the month, you must prepay the amount of the interest accruing up to the 1 st day of the following month, the Interest Adjustment Date (IAD). CMHC, Genworth If CMHC or Genworth insures your mortgage, the insurance premium will usually be added to the mortgage or you can choose to pay it separately. In Ontario and Quebec, the premium is subject to PST, which must be paid on closing. Prepaid Expenses If the Vendor has prepaid any expenses such as utilities, water and sewage taxes, heating oil or taxes, they must be reimbursed and this will be reflected in the Statement of Adjustments. Property Tax Holdback If the lender is collecting and paying property taxes on your behalf you may be required to pay the lender an amount to ensure sufficient funds are available to pay the next installment of property taxes.

Slight adjustments are made for weekly or bi-weekly payments TAX ADJUSMENT (estimate) You pay taxes on July 1 st the previous 6 months and the next 6 months to come. Depending on when you close, the vendor may have paid some or all of the taxes. Your lawyer or notary will make an adjustment for taxes, as you will owe taxes from when you take possession to the end of the year. SURVEY CERTIFICATE (not required on strata units) Some lending institutions may require a survey certificate. Please ask your realtor if this is available from the previous owner. LAND TRANSFER TAX first time buyers are exempt. Verify with a lawyer because it may be capped up to an amount based on the purchase price.

8 TYPES OF MORTGAGES Arranging to pay for that home is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make Term of a Mortgage The actual length of time money is loaned at the contractual rate of interest. Terms range from three months to twenty-five years. Usually, the longer the term the higher the rate. Open Mortgage Lets you repay the total amount of your mortgage at any time, without penalty. Ideal if you plan to sell your home in the near future. Closed Mortgage Usually has the lowest fixed rate available. A good choice if you need the security of fixed weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payments for the term of your mortgage. A fixed mortgage lacks the flexibility of being paid out at any time without an interest penalty, which can range from 3 months interest to an interest rate differential calculated by the lending institution upon payout. Convertible Mortgage A short term mortgage, usually six or twelve months, which lets you switch into a longer term at any time without penalty. Variable Mortgage A mortgage for which the rate of interest may change monthly or quarterly, depending on money market conditions. Depending on the specific features of the product; the regular payments can stay the same for the term or may be adjusted monthly or quarterly. The amount applied towards the principal changes according to the change (if any) in the interest rate. It can also be referred to as a floating rate mortgage or an adjustable rate mortgage. First Mortgage Mortgage given first priority at the Registry / Land Titles office. Can be conventional or high ratio. They give you the best rate of interest. Second Mortgage A higher interest rate loan that provides you with additional financing if the first mortgage does not meet your total financial requirements.
